The Visit of the Sultan of the Indies on his Elephant to Travel in Time

Royal41 Grand

For what I can gather, the city of Nantes, France celebrates the life and works of Futurist/Author Jules Verne with a series of festivals and events. This parade happened last weekend. All I can tell you is that it involved a giant wooden rocket ship, a Sultan riding the head of a giant elephant, and a massive marionette walking the streets.

meh, the French are crazy as hell anyway

The picture of the little marionette girl sleeping in the elephants trunk is beautiful. I would have liked to seen first hand how the marionettes were operated. Elephants are lovely wise creatures. I've put the picture on my desktop.

Ciao, JJ

Hey Steve Some hard shoes ya are there to fill Janes was like zeppelin in that the onez that loved them have stuck thru all the changes in the weather And having someone step up to the mike even tho they may sing or have a stronger voice than the one before them may just lack that magic, that the ones around them were part of. Like cover version -& Page were I think you have that spark in you to be Like a Rod Stewart after faces, But you hafta see that what made Perry so great with Dave was the punch he gave to Perry Yer a fan 2 right so you see what I mean? I think you need to ask Dave for more fun riffz to shake yer ass too. And you've got Steve to come up with some fun world beats, jest a bit off but still in the pocket!!! I mean been caught steallllinz wasnt really janes But you gotta say ya danced around to it It felt good right? It made alot of people feel good. So be the deep dark rockstar. But in all that crap, howa bout a good time too? I guess cuz im older I dont need pissed off in my music or deep spiritual conflict cuzz my real life has enough of that bullshit and I set my boundzzz along long time ago This is yer chance to shine bro Seemz like you guyz arent gettin real far with this I mean look yer lead guitarist is on like every show on mtv and that new show and yet He's still the lead janes guy? and this panic thing is like no wherez Im coming off like a creap and im sorry I really want you to make it And dont wanna see janes back again atleast at this point so Take my pointz or say fuck off but the reason people like hip hop is cuz it makes ya shake yer ass And the one thing I loved about Zepp and Janes was that even tho they rocked I still shook my then long hairz and ass Now a bit larger and a little less hair But anywayz howabout some fun in yer tunes Itz not like you are gonna write three dayz with him tomorrow Howabout the ocean or fuckin oceansize or howabout yer own tale to tell But sumpthin fun? Ok fanz of this sinking ship slam me now But I speak the truth and I say it outta love cuz I want him to make it I want all them too I know Perry will cuz he has magic about him like Plant or Prince does. If your gonna go for the Led Zepp trip than you better see that what made that work was the wild fun it had The fact that they didnt fit into say a cat like sabbath did. Black Dog rocked so hard yet made ya wanna hit a jay and dance and fuck the night away!!!! Tight but easy Man I wish I could be you Have Fun is the whole thing and those around you will see that. Shake yer ass!!!!! God Bless you All. Damn I came off like a mean jerk Really didnt mean too Oh well I dont matter . I guess theres enough little girlz out there wonderin what shampoo Daves using this week to blow what I have to say off.!!!! Ahhhhw Fuck it who cares what I think What getz my nut isnt what getz everyone else out there a woodie so what do I know? Rock n fuckin Roll.
